Hello.

I continually have a need and am unsure if I'm missing a way to do it. Let's say I have a scan reuturning a list of qualifiers. In the list, I added a column doing a count formula. 

I continually wish I had a way to rank the qualifiying stocks to each other (not to the original pool/list, like "US Stocks"). I want to know how the returned stocks compare to each other, like, "in this condition, these are in the top decile", or, similar to excel conditional formatting, I could pick a range (min, max, mean), and it would color the range. Or it would just ascribe a number to it's rank position.

This comes in really handy when having multiple conditions to evaluate on a more heuristic basis.

Is there any way to do this? Something I missing? Anything that does something similar (beyond clor styling above and below zero).

No, there is not a way to do this currently. Thank you for your suggestion.

The closest thing you could do is a manual operation. You can copy the symbols from a partial EasyScan into a Personal WatchList, do a sort, and then copy the symbols with the desired ranks into another Personal WatchList. You could then run further filters by using that Personal WatchList as the List to Scan in another EasyScan.

Thanks, Bruce. BTW, what is the column type that has the bar graphic in it? Did I imagine this?

You may be thinking of the WatchList Columns for fundamental criteria.
